Review: Dangbei MP1 Max projector ups image size, brightness and colour to a new level
Dangbei has upped the brightness and colour with its latest projector, which is now the flagship of its range, having taken over from the already excellent DBOX02. The MP1 Max takes a different tack to the DBOX by offering a hybrid Triple Laser/LED lens. This means you can pump up the size of an image to an incredible 300ins wide, while enjoying a brightness level that I've not see before at the price bracket. So, before we get into the tech jargon, here's what we are looking at. The MP1 Max is a sleek projector that comes with its own built-in stand capable of pointing the image pretty much anywhere you want (even on the ceiling). Because it's relatively compact, you can take it to your friends and neighbours easily enough, and it even comes with its own hard carrying case. And you're going to want to show this off! The 4K HDR projector can deliver 3100 ISO Lumens, which means you're not going to have to pull down all the blinds in a room to see it. The brightness is excellent, and it's this, as well as the vibrant colours, that gives the MP1 its edge. So the picture quality is superb, but what I was most surprised about was the quality of the in-built Dolby Audio speakers. They're 12W but with a larger acoustic chamber than other Dangbai projectors. This seemed to make a real difference to my ears. And that's just as well, because you are a little limited when it comes to external options (more of which later). Setting up the device is quick and simple. The MP1 uses Google TV as its operating system and has licensed Netflix integration, and so you get a smooth experience whatever your streaming options. One thing to note, though, is BBC iPlayer is still sadly lacking from the Google store so you'll have to connect to another peice of hardware to play EastEnders at supersize! The Bluetooth remote is nicely designed and has specific buttons for YouTube, Netflix and Amazon. This same Bluetooth means you can also connect to wireless speakers. I tested this out and didn't experience any lag, which I found was an issue with the DBOX02. Dangbei's InstanPro AI Image Setup Technology is among the best in the business and had just been upgraded, offering automated focus, real-time Keystone correction, screen fit, obstacle avoidance, and AI brightness adjustment. It makes it all super easy, not that taking manual control is particularly difficult. Although the automated settings were so good I never really felt the need to fiddle too much. It's worth noting the Keystone correction is dealt with by software and not hardware, meaning there is some light bleed that might turn off the purist. To be honest, after a couple of minutes you won't even notice it. For TV and movies, the MP1 smashes it out of the park. The quality is stunning and thanks to all those ISO Lumens, it shines no matter how light it is in the room. It also handles gaming with ease thanks to the 240Hz refresh rate. It's fast and reactive, and you can't beat playing Mario on a massive screen. There is a high-performance mode, but I wouldn't recommend it as the fans immediately go crazy and everything else seems to go to pot (or at least feels like it). Which brings me on to a couple of little caveats. Under normal use I wouldn't call the fans whisper quiet. If you're watching a blockbuster you won't notice, but quieter fare might well suffer. You get two HDMI ports to play with, as well as a headphone jack and USB-A, but no optical audio. I found this a little puzzling as this could be a deal breaker for the true home cinephile. Also, it does support 3D and while I have no way of testing this feature, other users say they have found it to be a little underwhelming. Another thing to note is the lifespan has been quoted to me as being more than 20,000 hours. Let feels like plenty, but is down from the 30,000 range boasted by the DBOX02. So if you're using it for a couple of hours a day it will last way over 20 years. So it is the flagship but it's missing a couple of high-end features in return, I guess, for portability. It's a comprimise I can live with. The MP1 Max is the best and brightest Dangbei yet, and delivers a powerful viewing experience - no matter where you are.

What Is Megaport Limited's (ASX:MP1) Share Price Doing?
Megaport Limited (ASX:MP1), might not be a large cap stock, but it led the ASX gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. Shareholders may appreciate the recent price jump, but the company still has a way to go before reaching its yearly highs again. As a stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company's outlook is already priced into the stock. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Let's take a look at Megaport's outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists. Check out our latest analysis for Megaport Great news for investors – Megaport is still trading at a fairly cheap price. According to our valuation, the intrinsic value for the stock is A$12.07, but it is currently trading at AU$8.19 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. Megaport's share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it's there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range. Future outlook is an important aspect when you're looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let's also take a look at the company's future expectations. Megaport's earnings over the next few years are expected to double, indicating a very optimistic future ahead. This should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value. Are you a shareholder? Since MP1 is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to increase your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation. Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping an eye on MP1 for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its buoyant future outlook isn't fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it's not too late to buy MP1. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the track record of its management team, in order to make a well-informed buy.
